A B O U T

This impeccably tailored 1980s black wool overcoat exemplifies the minimalist sophistication and quality craftsmanship that defined high-end American outerwear of the decade. Made from luxurious Worumbo wool by Forstmann, a fabric celebrated for its rich texture, durability, and superior drape, this piece conveys understated elegance with enduring appeal.

The coat features a softly structured silhouette with a wide shawl collar, double-breasted front closure, and deep patch pockets that lend both functionality and visual balance. The turned-up cuffs with button tabs add a subtle tailored touch, while the generous length elongates the figure for a dramatic yet refined profile. The coat is fully lined for comfort and finished with thoughtful interior detailing indicative of fine mid-century American tailoring.

Worumbo, a division of the Forstmann woolen mills, was known for producing some of the finest woolens in the United States during the 20th century. Their fabrics were frequently used by luxury department stores and top-tier designers for their rich hand and superior wear.

In pristine condition, freshly dry cleaned and ready to wear.
